micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

P.S. rgarding speed, I'm thoroughly convinced that no trike -- electric or otherwise -- should ever exceed around 32 kph (20 mph) in regular service. The physics of making a turn with a non-tilting, high center-of-gravity vehicle on not-necessarily reinforced spoked wheels are unfavorable as speed increases from a standstill. Whereas a two-wheel normally becomes more stable as speed increases.
14 mph/20 kph is roughly the speed of an adult casually riding an acoustic, two wheel bicycle, so this is a perfectly reasonable and marketable speed threshold. (I'm looking at you indignantly, SoCal beach regulations)
